Summary: Brutal Beauty
Review: This book was intense and poetic at the same time,raw and brutal, but very sympathetic. The mental breakdown the man suffers in this story is very disturbing at times and sometimes too familiar.The author is Iranian and has sparked my interest into looking into more Middle Eastern writers. The darkness that is in this book is so smoothly layered throughout the story that you can't help but feel sorry for this man, even when he describes the very morbid thoughts he keeps having and acting on. I highly recommend this book, but be prepared for some dark sentiment.
